crash tested
Interesting article - I'm confused that the results listed the use of reflective or fluorescent clothing reducing risk but colo(u)r of clothing and motorcycle showed no correlation to rates. Seems to imply that a black jacket with reflective piping is equally as good as a yellow jacket with reflective piping which isn't intuitive.
I don't know about that, honestly I'm lazy so didn't crunch the numbers, but I did I see this:
Use of reflective or fluorescent clothing
Nearly 20% of control drivers were wearing some type of reflective or fluorescent clothing. Drivers wearing reflective or fluorescent clothing had a 37% lower risk of crash related injury than those who were not wearing such materials (multivariate odds ratio 0.63, 95% confidence interval 0.42 to 0.94).
drivers = riders
Also, I'd like to add that this article was published in the British Medical Journal, which is a top peer-reviewed medical journal. This wasn't made by some summer interns looking to pad their resume....
